Ken, good idea. I spent a countless amount of time looking for some
simple basic exchanges and general info on RTTY contesting. '5AU's page
is fine if you use WL, but not everyone does. So I would think just the
very basics are needed. Since I live in Georgia I always get asked for
repeats on my state, guess they hope I meant DE....hi. Another FYI that
might be helpful, is to get the dead links removed from AC6V's web site
and totally redo the RTTY info section. Just some thoughts from a novice
RTTY contester. Oh, and remind the newbies to turn off the darn AFC and
NET, geesh I hate to have to chase someone during a run.

BTW I always send de before my call. But my exchange is to the point:
"599 GA GA K ". I figure that he knows his call and I know mine.
